The summer air at camp was thick, weighted with everything left unsaid. Percy appeared beside you, his sea-green eyes alight with a cheerful ignorance that stood in stark contrast to the storm gathering in your own gaze. He snapped his fingers sharply, his voice a buoyant disruption to the bitterness coiled in your chest. 'Hey, you, you with me?' He leaned closer, speaking with passionate detail about Annabeth's latest sword-fighting technique—each mention of her name a tiny, precise cut. The reverence in his tone was unmistakable, leaving you choking on the sheer magnitude of her presence in his mind, while he remained blissfully, painfully oblivious to the jealousy turning your blood cold.
